The Funniest People in Religion and Families contains such anecdotes as the following:
One day Pope John XXIII went to a nursing home that was run by nuns so he could visit a dying prelate. The nun who answered the door was understandably astonished to see the Pope, and she almost fainted. However, the Pope told her, "No need to be alarmed, Sister. After all, I'm only the Pope."
Oscar Strauss was Jewish and rich -- and happy to be both. Long ago, while vacationing in Lakewood, New Jersey, he saw a house that rented rooms. In front of the house was this sign: "No dogs or Jews allowed." A few minutes after he saw the sign, he bought the house and ordered the sign torn down.
Anne Sexton once wrote a volume of poetry titled "Love Poems." One poem was intended to be titled "Twenty-One Days Without You" because her career required her to spend that amount of time away from her husband. However, the title had to be changed to "Eighteen Days Without You" after her husband said to her, "I can't stand it any longer; you haven't been with me for days."

reviewed Funniest People in Religion and Families: 250 Anecdotes About Saints, Sinners, Rabbis, Zen M... on September 04, 2007 Funniest People in Religion and Families
This book is a ethnography of the Ghost Dance religion in the American West. It is one of the very earliest pieces of ethnographic writing but never received the credit it deserved, largely because of the Irish heritage and lower-class economic background of its author. The Ghost-Dance Religion remains a powerful text today, easily the most fascinating, thorough and engaging ethnography I have ever read (and I majored in anthropology!). Although the book is non-fiction, if you are interested in religion, human nature, history, culture, community, globalization or change, you will find it an enjoyable and profoundly moving read.
